CAROL COSTELLO, CNN ANCHOR: Mr. Jiang's speech in Beijing and the reaction in Iraq to today's resolution vote are just a couple of international stories we're following throughout the day here on CNN.
Our international editor Emer Fleming is here to talk about that.
Good morning.
EMER FLEMING, CNN INTERNATIONAL EDITOR: Hi, Carol.
COSTELLO: Let's start with the resolution, because this thing is supposed to be voted on around 10 Eastern.
FLEMING: That's right, and it's supposed to go through. And if it does, what we'll do is we'll go to our bureaus all around the world, starting off with Baghdad. We have Jane Arraf and Rym Brahimi, two excellent correspondents there, who will try and get official reaction, who talk to people on the streets, who will look at the newspapers and listen to state radio and tell us what is the reaction to this.
Then we probably would go to Jill Dougherty in our Moscow bureau to see, you know, what is Putin saying about this. And he is meant to be quite OK with the new wording of the resolution. And from there we'll go over to Sheila MacVicar in London to talk about, you know, general European reaction to it. And then possibly on to Jaime FlorCruz in Beijing.
Now, Jaime is working very hard at the moment on the whole China Party Congress, which is, which just started yesterday. It goes on for the week. They have one of these every five years. But this is the first China Party Congress in 10 years to possibly elect new leadership.
Now, if he can get any sort of reaction from people in the middle of the night on the U.N. resolution going through, he will get us that. But he's primarily there to, in Tienanmen Square, of all places, to bring us all the news on, you know, the China Party...
COSTELLO: The bringing of new young blood into the Chinese government...
FLEMING: Exactly.
COSTELLO: ... which is very interesting because there's much talk about these red capitalists. How strange is that? FLEMING: Yes, right. This is a time when there is going to be a new leadership and younger blood running it. And they're trying to, they're having talks about how you can incorporate somebody who's very entrepreneurial in a communist party. So it will be very interesting to see what they actually come out with.
COSTELLO: It's sort of a strange blending of capitalism and communism and I'm not sure how that works together.
FLEMING: Yes.
COSTELLO: But I'm sure you guys will explain it to all of us.
Thank you very much, Emer.
FLEMING: Thank you.
COSTELLO: We'll let you get back to work.
